Very nice Dirk. Is it just sitting on the bench seat? Is it secured? If not, maybe a tether coming up from the back of seat in-between the back and seat cushions secured to center console and floor board. Just in case you needed to stop quick nothing goes flying causing other damage. Just a thought.

Nice work. Did you upholster it yourself? It looks very nice. I have a manual trans and keep thinking of ways to add cup holders and storage, but haven't come up with a practical good looking option yet.

@D+D,

no, the upholstery was made by my friend. I have too big a finger for something like that

Thanks, I'm glad you like it
